Undergraduate and Foundation applications

UCAS applicants

If you fit the following criteria, you’ll need to apply through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS):

• You’re applying directly out of sixth form or college;
• You want to study full-time;
• You don’t already hold an undergraduate qualification and are from the UK, EU or Channel Islands.

You’ll need some information from your course's webpage, including Bath Spa University’s institution code: BASPA B20.

Read more about how to apply through UCAS or just get started. You’ll need to register or login to the UCAS site.

You can apply for one of our undergraduate courses online from the course’s webpage. You’ll be asked to create an online account.

Applying for part-time study

If you’d like to study part-time, you’ll need to apply online directly with us, rather than through UCAS.

Click the 'apply now' button on the webpage for the course you’d like to study.

Working with children or vulnerable adults

Any module, study or voluntary experience that involves working with children and/or vulnerable adults will require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance check to be carried out before you’ll be able to join.

If you will be teaching students, you will also need to carry out the Fitness to Train to Teach assessment.

Already hold an undergraduate degree?

If you already have a degree or higher qualification than that for which you are applying, your fee requirements may be different, due to the way government University funding is distributed. Please check the Equivalent or Lower Qualification (ELQ) policy for more details.

This also applies to students who progress to the third year of study, following completion of a Foundation Degree. Please note that Foundation Degrees are currently exempt from higher fees.

If you’re applying directly to Bath Spa and not through UCAS, you’ll need to send copies of qualification certificates which you have previously received to the Admissions office. Please send scanned copies by email to admissions@bathspa.ac.uk.

If you're applying through UCAS and are studying qualifications other than SQA, A Level or Irish qualifications, we will also require scanned copies of these certificates.

You’ll be informed of when these documents are to be received in your offer letter.
